Green Power Breakfast Smoothie
This Green Protein Power Breakfast Smoothie is the perfect morning pick-me-up to get the day started off right. The mix of natural sugars, vitamins, and minerals from the banana + mango + spinach combo really help to perk you up while the healthy fats and protein from the pumpkin seeds and hemp hearts keep you feeling satiated.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Spinach or kale leaves
- 2 cups Chopped pineapple
- 1 unit Medium banana
- 1/2 unit Apple (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Hemp hearts
- 1-2 cups Water
Instructions
- Put spinach or kale, pineapple, banana, apple hemp hearts, and 1 cup of the water into a high-powered blender.
- Blend for 1 minute until very smooth. If you'd like a thinner smoothie, add more water.
- Pour your breakfast smoothie into a glass and enjoy it right away.
Notes
If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can still make this smoothie, but keep in mind that it won't be as smooth. It will still taste delicious!
If you're unsure about how a green breakfast smoothie will taste, opt for spinach as it's less green-tasting.
Make sure that at least one of the ingredients is frozen. We normally keep a bag of peeled bananas in the freezer for smoothies. If all of your ingredients are fresh, you can add some ice cubes to chill the smoothie.
The exact amount of water you need will depend on the size of the banana and apple you use, how many ingredients are frozen, and personal preference. It is best to start with 1 cup and then add more as needed.
